2018 SESTI BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO RISERVA PHENOMENA

Sesti's top bottling that was aged for 51 months in old oak botti before bottling. Riserva bottlings are only released 6 years after the harvest. Powerful yet refreshing.  The Phenomena label is a work of art conceived by Elisa and marks a phenomenon of nature that occurred during that year.  On the 27th of July 2018 stargazers witnessed the largest total eclipse of the 21st century.  It was made up of three coinciding events, a blood moon, super moon and a blue moon.  Last seen on May 31st 1844 and the next appearance will be on January 31st 2037.   The resulting wine has a good amount of forward fruit cherry and plum with notes of sweet herbs, sage and bay leave with red licorice and floral aromas lifting from the glass.  Smooth and silky on the tongue, a very forward and seductive wine with a lovely freshness, light and elegant enough to drink today but has enough substance to be around for decades.  Finish 50+  Most Excellent
